Summertime at Wheeler Farm, where I work part-time as a bookkeeper, is always a “happening” time. Families come and visit in droves - who doesn’t love to see the animals? Summer camp is going. The lawns and newly-remodeled Activity Barn are in high demand for family reunions, weddings and receptions and parties of all kinds. There are festivals, farmers’ markets, 5-K runs. Whew!
And when our family comes to visit from out-of-state, the farm is a must-see for children and adults alike. Recently Bruce’s daughter Emily with hubby Chad and our sweet grandchildren Deacon (3) and Abbie (1 1/2) visited.

The water level of the creek above (photo taken in the afternoon of June 30, 2011) was just a wee bit higher than the photo of the same place I took in the morning a year and three weeks earlier on June 8, 2010 (below).
Meet Norman, our new Jersey calf (a bull) born in June this year. Isn’t he cute??

One of the ladies in CQI had to drop out of the English Garden II Round Robin (hope your hand feels better soon, Ritva!). Since I was the “angel” for the RR, I will get to step in and finish a block for Cathy Labath. These lovely blocks just arrived in my mailbox yesterday, and I am looking forward to stitching on one. They are up on my design board now, and I am just waiting for them to talk to me! :-)
Hugs,
Cathy muy lindoslos niños, vives en un bello lugar, me gustó el tutorial de la flor, visítame.Besos.Olga.
